Solution

Comment out the Selenium servlet.

Stop the application server

Open web.xml and remove the tags below

<servlet>
        <servlet-name>SeleneseServletSpike</servlet-name>
        <servlet-class>com.thoughtworks.selenium.outbedded.CommandBridge</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>

        <servlet-name>SeleneseServletSpike</servlet-name>
        <url-pattern>/selenium-driver/driver</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
